Scope and format
editThe 2011 census was carried out to ascertain the number of people in Greece at the time of the census, the demographic, social, and economic conditions of residents and households, and the stock of buildings available in the country.[4] The census was conducted in a format compliant with European Union regulations.[4] It was the first census in Greece carried out over a number of days, as opposed to a single day; this was so as to make it more convenient for residents to complete the census.[4] It was also the first census to be conducted in accordance with the data protection guidelines of the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (el).[4]
